Obviously this match up could never happen because they share too many of the same players, but even before the 2013 Dolphins have added one draft pick I believe they would beat last years team by more than a touchdown.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high. When we picked up Brandon Marshall and Karlos Dansby, I thought we were going to be great. It looks like they have made better choices in this offseason, but you can never tell for sure until they are on the field.

That 2012 team may have gone 7-9, but they also were in a lot of those games they lost.

They were a gritty team that played ugly but wasn't an easy win most weeks.

I wouldn't be so quick to say the 2013 team is better. There are things to consider such as whether Ryan Tannehill can develop chemistry with his new weapons and we don't really know for sure if the new linebackers are going to be able to play as well or better as the ones we released.

Also, we have no cornerbacks right now because they are all either recovering from injuries or they suck.

Before the draft? I'd say it's a little better on paper...very slightly.

With that said, if you can solidify the OL through the draft or with Winston/Clabo, and add a couple of more immediate contributors in the draft, I think you're looking at a better team.

But it's completely, 100% dependent on how Tannehill develops.

I'd also add how Lamar Miller develops will also be a big part of the answer. But I am excited that Miami has added a legit #1 WR and a TE that can exploit the seam. That alone should translate into more TD's versus settling for FG's.
